The Hungarian Prime Minister recalled that NATO was created for the defense of the participating countries and should not involve them in an armed conflict outside their territoryBUDAPEST, February 24.

/tass/. Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban fears that the European Union will soon talk about sending European military personnel to Ukraine under the guise of peacekeeping forces. Speaking on Friday on the Kossuth radio station program, he warned against any actions that lead to the prolongation or expansion of the Ukrainian conflict.

"If Europe continues to drift towards war, the Hungarian public may soon hear proposals for the introduction of peacekeeping forces or some troops on the territory of Ukraine," Orban said. In this regard, he recalled that NATO, which supports Ukraine, was created for the defense of the participating countries and should not involve them in an armed conflict outside their territory.

A week ago, Orban already said that if today the West sends tanks to Ukraine, then tomorrow planes will be seriously discussed, and then the turn will come to the "peacekeepers". Now he has again decided to use this figure of speech to warn about the inadmissibility of the escalation of hostilities in a neighboring country.

Answering questions on the Kossuth radio station program, Orban also said that "the West made the wrong decision" by getting involved in the Ukrainian conflict, without clearly defining its goals and setting limits on assistance to Ukraine. According to the Prime Minister, instead, all EU documents say: "No matter how long it takes, no matter how much it costs."

Orban confirmed that the Hungarian government continues to adhere to the position of non-interference in the Ukrainian conflict, believes that there can be no winners in it, and offers to settle it immediately through peaceful negotiations. "Neither side will be able to win this war," the prime minister said, adding that, "from the point of view of common sense, it is necessary to declare a ceasefire."

He also drew attention to the fact that on Thursday Hungary, like 140 other countries, supported the resolution on Ukraine at the UN General Assembly in New York, as it considers this document "aimed at achieving peace." Russia regarded the resolution demanding, in particular, "the withdrawal of Russian troops from Ukrainian territory" as unacceptable. Together with her, six more States voted against the adoption of the document, 32 abstained.
